It's usually seasonal work and the pay is probably bad, but look into horticulture roles with your local/regional parks departments. It's the only job I've had where I've gone home feeling like I did something good every day. I plant flowers for the benefit of people who will never pay me, the public constantly compliments that work, and the moment I get off work to walk my dog I'm my own customer. Everyone there was motivated by values like environmental stewardship and community so it's a super supportive workplace that's more conscious of labour/discrimination laws. In terms of training/degrees, most of my coworkers have no formal horticulture background and the department pays for their training.
dang that sounds great.
It's like 80% of the job I'd want under communism, and the idealised form is just more of what makes it good. I get to drive around in an old truck doing eco-Marxism.
